The history of the medieval vegetable garden of the common man and woman chards are depicted. Such orchards may indicate that they also existed in the Middle Ages. Conclusions In archival documents dating back to the Middle Ages, mention is made of the sale of a house, its yard and its garden. This garden will have been a garden where herbs and vegetables and a few fruit trees were grown. If the garden was large also arable crops may have been cultivated, and orchards established. In spite of their common and wide distribution, the vegetable gardens of the medieval common men have not been depicted and described in northwest Europe. In sales documents orchards may be mentioned because of a result of the financial value of the trees. However, the number of trees and the fruit crop is often not mentioned. Exchange of material and knowledge will have taken place between common men and gardeners of monasteries, abbeys, castles, mansions and hospitals. Actually, not much has changed: the vegetable gardens of the present-day common men, although as in the Middle Ages, widely occurring, are still rarely depicted and described. They are too ‘common’, too ‘vulgar’. References ALBERTS, W.J. (1983): Het leven in een middeleeuwse stad. Amsterdam. 72 pp. BAKELS, C.C.
